We did similar with our climb and won the controls innovation award at Cross Roads. Illuminating the robot different colors to indicate robot statuses also contributed to the win. In regards to the climb we took it one step back from fully autonomous. The entire sequence was an autonomous climb but we had "breakpoints" at key steps that allowed the drivers to verify everything latched successfully before moving onto the next level. A side from falling off twice, once from the 2nd level and once from the 3rd level, the climb sequence was solid.
